Patent CA-2169986-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HERLITZIUS THOMAS
IPC: A01D41/12
Filed: 1996-02-21
Abstract: Ideal function curves are generated for a combine in various operating conditions having acceptable loss rates. These ideal function curves are stored in an onboard computer and compared with actual measured function curves. The actual function curves are derived from sensors measuring grain distribution perlinear length of grain falling through the sieve. The computer compares the actual function curve with the ideal function curve for transmitting an adjustment signal to the appropriate controller to drive the actual function curve towards the ideal function curve. Loss sensors are not required because acceptable losses for various conditions are built into the ideal function curves.

Title: Pure 3r-3'r stereoisomer of zeaxanthin for treating macular degeneration in humans
Inventor: GARNETT KEVIN M
IPC: A23L1/30
Filed: 1996-10-28
Abstract: Methods and formulations are disclosed for making and purifying the 3R-3'R stereoisomer of zeaxanthin as a sole detectable isomer, in any desired quantity, for use as a drug or vitamin by humans. Zeaxanthin, a yellowish pigment which is naturally present in macular cells in the center of the human retina, absorbs blue and near-ultraviolet light radiation, thereby protecting retinal cells against phototoxic damage. Zeaxanthin preparations which contain only the desired 3R-3'R stereoisomer can be produced by a strain of Flavobacterium mul tivorum cells (ATCC accession number 55238). These cells (and other cells transformed with their zeaxanthin-producing genes) do not create any detectable quantities of the undesired S-S or S-R isomers of zeaxanthin, and they do not synthesize significant quantities of other carotenoids which might compete against zeaxanthin for alimentary uptake after oral ingestion. After synthesis using microbial fermentation, the zeaxanthin can be concentrated to about 5 to 20% by simple and inexpensive steps such as solvent extraction. It can also be purified to much higher levels by other methods, if desired. The pure R-R isomer can be taken orally, either as a therapeutic drug by patients suffering from macular degeneration, or as a vitamin or nutritional supplement by anyone who wants to reduce his or her risk of suffering from age-related macular degeneration, which is widespread among people over the age of about 50 or 60. Extraction solvents, stabilizing agents, and convenient formulations for oral ingestion (such as mixed with vegetable oil and encapsulated, or used as a margarine or food additive) are also disclosed.

Filed: 1990-10-03
Abstract: Displacement measuring apparatus for measuring the displacement and movement of an object includes a sensor having an operative surface and circuitry for producing an electrical output signal whose value is dependent upon the area of the operative surface covered by an electrical/magnetic field producing member.  The apparatus also includes an elongate, flexible band capable of producing an electric/magnetic field, where the band is attached at one end to the sensor to roll over and cover or unroll from over and uncover the operative surface as the object whose displacement is to be measured is moved.  The value of the electrical output signal produced by the circuitry is thus dependent upon the area of the operative surface covered by the band and thus by the position and movement of the object.

Patent CA-2202378-A1 (CA)
Title: High solids copolymer dispersion from a latex and its use in sealants
Inventor: HERNANDEZ PAMELA K
IPC: C08F263/04
Filed: 1995-10-04
Abstract: A method for polymerizing predominantly one or more acrylate and/or vinyl acetate monomers in the presence of a latex results in high solids dispersions of polymer particles with lower viscosities than traditionally observed. A  significant wt.% of added monomers can be present in large particles, having nonspherical shapes. Some of the original latex particles are retained during the polymerization and these increase the solids content and lower the viscosity by packing in the interstices between large particles. The total polymer solids content can easily be varied from 70 to 92 or more wt.% which are higher than achieved in any previously reported aqueous polymerizations.  The viscosities at very high solids contents become paste-like but the materials still are stable to storage and further handling without breaking the dispersion into an agglomerated polymer portion and released water. The dispersions are useful to form sealants, membranes, etc., either with or without other additives. A preferred use is as an acrylate water-based caulking compound where the high solids and thixotropy of the dispersion allows for formation of a water-based caulk with low shrinkage.

IPC: C07K7/64
Filed: 1997-10-24
Abstract: No effective remedy exists for the treatment of chronic pain resulting from inflammation and neuropathy. The adrenal medullary peptide, histogranin (HN), and its chemically stable analogue, [Ser1]HN, alleviate the same type of pain as that blocked by spinal adrenal medullary implants.          However, the administration of these peptides is more advantageous than the transplantation of adrenal medullary tissues or chromaffin cells into the spinal cord. In addition, the structure of HN peptides can be modified to improve their efficacy and length of action while avoiding the side-effects of opioid analgesics, aspirin derivatives and non-steroidal antiinflammatory agents.  The HN fragment-(7-10), Gly-Gln-Gly-Arg (SL-99), is an analgesic as potent as the parent peptide HN in the mouse writhing pain assay.  Its analogues, [Ala9]HN-(7-10) (SL-100: Gly-Gln-Ala-Arg) and [Arg7, Ala9]HN-(7-10) (SL-101: Arg-Gln-Ala-Arg), cyclo-(SL-100) (or SL-102) and the parent peptide [Ser1, Ala9]HN (SL-104: Met-Asn-Tyr-Ala-Leu-Lys-Gly-Gln-Ala-Arg-Thr-Leu-Tyr-Gly-Phe), show improved potency as compared with HN.  The linear and cyclic forms of SL-100 and SL-101 are presented with the following general Formulae:     Formula I (linear)                 Formula II (cyclic)     wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are H (SL-100) or (CH2)2-NH2 (SL-101), (CH2)3-NH-C(=NH)-NH2, CH3, (CH2)2-NH2, H and H, respectively, or related substituents.  The pharmaceutically-acceptable salts, esters and amides comprised in formulae I and II compounds, which are useful for inducing analgesia in animals, and a method for inducing analgesia in an animal in need thereof comprising administering a therapeutically-effective amount of Formula I or Formula II compounds to the animal.
